It wasn't until Fifth Master Lu's hands completely left Siyu's neck that she found her breath again. Then, she was surprised to find that in that short moment just now, she had broken out in a cold sweat and her entire back was soaked.
Facing Fifth Master in this state, his murderous aura suddenly pressed down on Siyu like a mountain. Siyu tilted her head and coughed heavily. Blood fell on the snow-white bedsheets like blooming red plum blossoms.
So close … Siyu was sure that Fifth Master Lu could really strangle her to death just now. If he hadn't restrained himself at the most critical moment, perhaps she would be lying on the ground now. That murderous aura was real, like the scythe of the Grim Reaper resting on her neck. Siyu almost thought that she wouldn't be able to keep her little life.
Fifth Master Lu, who had completely awakened from his sleep, silently stared at Siyu who was pressed down on the bed by him. The little girl's long black hair was scattered between the sheets, her small face was pale, and her almond-shaped eyes were covered with a layer of mist. There was still panic and fear in her eyes that hadn't yet dissipated, reflecting his extremely cold face. At this time, the little girl was coughing up blood while secretly glancing at him from the corner of her eyes. She looked at him as if she had seen a ghost, indescribably pitiful and delicate.
… It was as if she would break if he used a little more force. She was too delicate and too soft, like a porcelain doll.
After a while, Fifth Master Lu closed his eyes and suppressed the murderous aura that arose from being disturbed from his sleep. He flipped over and moved away from Siyu, sitting on the edge of the bed. He took off the prayer beads that never left his wrist and twirled them between his fingers.
This was a habit left over from when he lived in a Buddhist temple as a child. In order to keep him calm at all times, the abbot of the temple specially found a thousand-year-old Bodhi tree and took the Bodhi seeds on the tree to create this string of beads for him. Whenever he felt that his mind was not calm, he would twirl the prayer beads and recite the Heart Cleansing Mantra.
His self-control, which he had trained since childhood, was very strong. Under normal circumstances, there was basically nothing that could make him recite it completely. But today, after he recited it in its entirety, he still felt that it wasn't enough. His heart still couldn't completely calm down.
"Um, Fifth Lord … Can you leave us for a moment?" From the side, Siyu could only see Fifth Master Lu twirling his prayer beads and moving his lips up and down. She didn't know what he was doing, so she asked cautiously. Because at this time, Siyu discovered that she was wrapped in a thick towel, but she wasn't wearing any clothes underneath!
She didn't know what happened when she was soaking in the medicinal bath yesterday. She didn't have any impression of being carried to bed, and her clothes were taken off by someone … Most importantly, could it be that she was hugged to sleep by Fifth Master Lu the entire night yesterday?
It was too terrifying! It was even scarier than this lunatic waking up early in the morning to strangle her neck!
Hearing Siyu's soft voice, Fifth Master Lu's hand moved and he turned his head to glance at her. This little girl probably didn't realize that she wasn't very well-behaved when she was sleeping. The towel in front of her chest was faintly slipping down, and a large part of her delicate collarbone was already exposed.
"I had someone prepare clothes for you. Come down when you're done." Fifth Master Lu indifferently shifted his gaze, but his hand subconsciously clenched his prayer beads. The uneven surface of the beads knocked against his fingertips. Only then did he realize that chanting the Mind-clearing Incantation just now seemed to have been in vain.
Siyu hurriedly nodded. When this master finally left, she immediately bounced up from the bed and ran to the bathroom to vomit until the sky turned dark. Only then did her hands and feet go limp as she changed into the new dress that the servant brought over.
She actually spent a night with Fifth Master Lu and was still alive and well. It was simply a miracle!
When Siyu went downstairs, Fifth Master Lu was already waiting in the living room. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but Siyu felt that his expression seemed to be colder than usual. Siyu tried to figure out who had made this lunatic unhappy again, and carefully asked if she could go back.
"Last night's medicinal bath should have been completely absorbed. Your body needs to replenish itself with food. What do you want to eat?" Fifth Master Lu was proficient in medical knowledge. He glanced at her and asked.
Siyu instantly thought of Fifth Master Lu's picky appetite. To be honest, she still remembered that meal clearly. Sharing a table with a picky person was a disaster. In order to avoid a repeat of the disaster, Siyu hurriedly waved her hand: "No need. I'll go home first. There's still some food at home. I can cook it myself."
Unexpectedly, Fifth Master Lu didn't force her to listen this time. He nodded slightly and led her out of the villa. Usually, Siyu could always see Fifth Master Lu followed by a large group of bodyguards, but this time, he was abnormal. He waved away all his subordinates and personally drove out a flamboyant sports car from the garage.
Siyu was dumbfounded. She was used to Fifth Master Lu's simple and elegant clothes. She always felt that such bright and dazzling colors didn't match this person. However, Fifth Master Lu seemed to be used to it. He drove the car to Siyu's side. Seeing her in a daze, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curve: "Do you still need me to invite you in?"
Siyu sat in the car as if she was sleepwalking. It wasn't until the sports car drove away and raised a cloud of dust on the mountain road that she grabbed the armrest and was a little nervous: "Fifth Master, why did you suddenly think of driving yourself?"
Fifth Master Lu's driving speed could be described as wild. He seemed to never know how to write the words' slow driving ', but in contrast, his expression had always been very calm. When he heard Siyu's question, he seemed to smile and replied kindly: "Because I'm not happy right now, and if someone follows me, I'll be even more unhappy, understand?"
Siyu immediately kept quiet out of fear.
Thus, this flamboyant sports car sped all the way back to Siyu's neighborhood at a terrifying speed. Siyu was on tenterhooks all the way, afraid that Fifth Master Lu's steering wheel would be unstable and she would become a ghost on the road. At this time, when she saw the familiar neighborhood gate, her heart immediately surged with excitement. She quickly said: "You can just drop me off outside. I'm in an old neighborhood, and the road is very narrow. There's no road for a car to drive on."
Fifth Master Lu simply stopped by the side of the road, turned off the engine, got out of the car, walked to the side of the passenger seat, and said to Siyu Siyu: "Then walk over."
Siyu was dumbfounded. So, he still wanted to walk when the car couldn't enter?
Siyu felt that Fifth Master Lu seemed a little strange today, but she couldn't pinpoint exactly what was strange.
"It's better not to trouble you. There's a breakfast stall over there. I still want to pack some things to bring back. You don't have to worry about me, really." Siyu hurriedly thought of another excuse. She was really afraid of this person who didn't play by the rules.
Unexpectedly, Fifth Master Lu looked in the direction Siyu was pointing and actually held her hand as they walked over together.
That breakfast stall was a famous old shop nearby. The peak period of business was usually from six to eight in the morning. When Fifth Master Lu sent Siyu back, it was almost ten in the morning. They were about to close the stall when they saw a man with an extraordinary temperament walking over from the opposite side. He was holding a girl with a pale but beautiful face. The old couple in the shop didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly greeted: "Sir, what would you like to order? Our buns have been sold out. There's only a little porridge left … "
Fifth Master Lu looked down at the stall. The smell of oil and smoke was still there. It was cleaned up quite well, but the food on display didn't look very good. It was even a little shabby. It was a world of difference from what he had eaten in the past. However, the girl he was holding had already answered first: "A bowl of porridge is enough. Add more pickled vegetables. I'll eat here."
"Eat here?" Fifth Master Lu looked around. There were four or five small tables scattered around the stall, as well as many small stools. It was located by the road, so the environment was naturally not very good.
Siyu took the hot porridge from the old couple. When the enthusiastic shop owners saw that there were two of them, they even put an extra spoon. Siyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Fifth Master Lu was very picky. How could he eat?
"Yes, yes. I'll leave after I finish eating. You'd better not wait for me. I eat slowly. Who knows how much time I'll waste." Siyu couldn't wait to send this person away immediately, so she deliberately said that she wanted to eat here. She didn't believe that a lunatic like Fifth Master Lu, who regarded being picky as a principle of life, could endure it.
However, Siyu misjudged again. Fifth Master Lu actually nodded and took the lead to find the cleanest wooden table. After sitting down, he even used his knuckles to knock on the table: "Why aren't you coming over?"
"…" Siyu confirmed once again that Fifth Master Lu was indeed very abnormal today.
She walked over with the porridge and sat down. Under Fifth Master Lu's gaze, she slowly drank the porridge in the bowl. Fifth Master Lu stared at her movements from the opposite side. After watching for a while, he suddenly put away the prayer beads, picked up the extra spoon, scooped up half a spoonful, and lowered his eyebrows to taste it.
"!!" Siyu was shocked and didn't react at all.
Fifth Master Lu only scooped up half a spoonful of porridge and put the spoon aside. He took in Siyu's extremely surprised expression and said indifferently: "… The taste is not bad."
Siyu: "??" No, she wasn't used to you suddenly not being picky!
